Kruppel-Like Factor 15 Induces the Development of Mature Hepatocyte-Like Cells from Hepatoblasts

Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) was identified as a new regulator of hepatic maturation through a comprehensive analysis of the expression of transcriptional regulators in mouse fetal and adult hepatocytes. KLF15 induced the overexpression of liver function genes in mouse embryonic hepatocytes.
